 * I’m trying to get the functions.php template into a Suffusion child theme because
   I’d like to link all my featured images to their posts. I’m new to WordPress 
   in general but I’ve loaded a few other templates into the child theme with no
   issues. Every time I send the functions.php template into the child theme’s directory
   though my FTP, however, I get this everywhere:
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare suffusion_theme_setup() (previously declared in/
   home/a8608451/public_html/wp-content/themes/suffusion-child/functions.php:28)
   in /home/a8608451/public_html/wp-content/themes/suffusion/functions.php on line
   45
 * What do you guys think? I really need this template in there.

 * If you are trying to copy the functions.php from the parent theme to the child
   theme, you will obviously get this error. Try starting from scratch and create
   just your own functions in your functions.php file.
